The daughter of Arizona Sen. John McCain was not pleased after Trump once again went out of his way to trash her cancer-stricken father on Friday — despite promising earlier this month to lay off the insults.

"President Trump took some hot shots at my father and got the crowd at CPAC to boo him," McCain, 33, said during an appearance on The View. "My mother is coming on Wednesday, both of us will be addressing this together and we're going to talk about what it's like to have this continue to happen as a family while my father battles brain cancer."

"Remember, one person walked into a room when he was supposed to go this way and he said he was going this way," Trump said before the right-wing lovefest, flashing a thumbs up. "And he walked in and went this way," Trump continued, imitating McCain's thumbs down moment. "What was that all about? I don't want to be controversial so I won't use his name. What a mess!"

Trump's remarks drew loud boos from the crowd.

Earlier this month, the younger McCain revealed that Trump had called her up and promised to stop taking shots at her 81-year-old father.

"I don't believe he would go there again," she told Politico's Women Rule podcast. "I don't think at this point in his administration it would be beneficial to him in any way."

The White House did not respond to emailed questions from the Daily News about why Trump nonetheless slandered Sen. McCain on Friday.

The commander-in-chief drew widespread outrage after he infamously said during the campaign that McCain isn't "a war hero" because he was "captured" during the Vietnam War.

"He walked in and went this way," Trump said, imitating McCain's thumbs down moment.

"I like people who weren't captured," Trump said shortly after announcing his presidential bid.

While McCain spent nearly six years as a prisoner of war in a North Vietnamese camp, Trump avoided being deployed and received a total of five draft determents. One of the deferments was for bone spurs.
